STEP 1

• Secure mounting strap to outlet box. For adjustable, “T” and

“X” connectors, a S-CT-OUTLET-BOX-CVR* Cover Plate is

required. If removal of a knockout is required, remove it at this

time

STEP 2

• Make sure end cap at opposite end of track is secured &

butted against a surface. Slide feed connector into end of

Track, by aligning polarity arrow on connector with polarity

groove in track; secure with the set screws provided. Using

toggle bolts or screws provided, attach Track to ceiling.

Secure feed connector (to outlet box, if applicable).

STEP 3

• Adding New Connector: If adding additional sections to

existing track, remove end cap from existing track. Slide new

connector into open end of existing track and tap with rubber

mallet to secure proper fit.

STEP 4

• Adding New Track: Secure end cap into non-connecting end

o new track. Slide new track into new connector and tap with

rubber mallet for proper fit with no gap. Secure to ceiling

according to instructions above.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Essentia® by Cree Track xtures are UL® Classied for use with Essentia by Cree “CT” track systems, and Juno® (not afliated

with Essentia by Cree) “T” and “TU” Series track systems only.

2. To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, turn off power supply before installation or servicing.

3. Track not intended to be connected with power cord or to more than one branch circuit unless it is constructed so that it can

be used with more than one circuit. Check with a qualied electrician. Although the track system may appear to operate

acceptably, a dangerous overload of the neutral may occur and result in a risk of re.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

NOTES:

1. Please read all of these installation instructions before installing any part of the Track System.

2. Save these instructions and refer to them when additions to or changes in the track conguration are made.

3. Use only xtures and ttings intended for use with Essentia by Cree One Circuit Track and Connectors.

4. The one circuit track system has a maximum capacity of 20 amps or 2400 total watts when permanently wired to an outlet box.

5. Do not attempt to energize anything other than lighting track xtures on the track. To reduce the risk of re and electric shock,

do not attempt to connect power tools, extension cords, appliances, and the like to the track.

6. Track light assembly must be installed a minimum of 6 inches distance from any combustible surface or material, such as wall

coverings or curtains.

7. Track is not to be installed in wet or damp locations.

8. Track system must be installed a minimum of 5 feet above oor.

STEP 5

• If T-bar ceiling, use T-bar clips (order separately). Maximum distance

between clips is two (2) feet.

STEP 6

• If track is to be pendant mounted, maximum pendant spacing is four

feet; minimum two pendants per track section.

INSTALLING WIRING TRACK SECTION

STEP 1

• Run wire through outlet box, mounting strap and connector.

STEP 2

• Connect positive wire (black) to the screw terminal marked P.

STEP 3

• Connect the neutral wire (white) to the screw terminal marked N.

STEP 4

• Connect ground wire.

STEP 5

• See specific track fixture Installation Instructions for installation of

track fixtures onto track.

STEP 6

• Track Rated at 120V, 60 Hz, 20 Amps.

WIRING CONNECTORS

STEP 1

• Connectors are factory wired for correct polarity. Wiring patterns can

be changed easily in the field by merely shifting jumper positions or

eliminating wires. When replacing or rewiring, be sure to maintain

correct polarity.

CUTTING TRACK IN THE FIELD

Step 1.

Remove dead end fitting and pull

copper conductors until flush with

end of track that will be cut.

Step 2.

Cut to desired length,

allowing 1/8” for dead end fitting.

Note: remove the burrs after

cutting.

Step 3.

Push copper conductors Back

into the track. Copper conductors

should be 5/16” – 3/8” Recessed

from each end of the track.

Step 4.

Reinstall dead end fitting After

conductors are cut and tighten

screw.

Drilling Instructions:

1. Drill additional mounting holes in cut sections, if necessary. When a new mounting hole is

required in a piece of track, it must be placed in the center of the insulator no closer than 2”

nor farther than 6” from the end of the track.

2. Locate and drill a 1/4” diameter hole through the track and insulator. Carefully de-burr

the hole and make sure that there are no chips or filings that remain in the track.
